Unlicensed pilot was flying light plane that fatally crashed at Ball Bay on Christmas Eve...... https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-02-11/ball-bay-christmas-eve-plane-crash-report-released/100823632

What didn’t you know? it’s an old clip where he miss spoke and corrected himself in the full clip, not some sound bite you foolishly linked….

Photos on dz.com show the incident (they were hugup on exit and fell from low level while trying to clear the problem) with a description from those who witnessed it. APF do comprehensive reports.

That would be his Flap handle in his ASG29.

Benalla might be OK, they will have just run the World Gliding Comps, but I would check out Mt Beauty. Mark Bland has a Self Launcher there and the scenery trumps Benalla. Of course, you could also take a winch launch there too. Much more fun than aerotow.
